What Minute to Win It is
Inspired by the best-known quickfire challenge TV format in the world, this activity sets individual or pair challenges that have to be beaten in just 60 seconds.
All of them with everyday objects: cups, straws, biscuits and ping-pong balls.
How Minute to Win It works
Here's how Minute to Win It Team Building works, step by step:
- A circuit of stations is set out, each with a different one-minute challenge.
- The format's classics: stacking cups, balancing objects, moving things without using your hands.
- Players compete in turns or across several stations at once.
- Every challenge beaten scores points for their team.

Minute to Win It in hotels and offices: space and organisation
One of the big advantages of Minute to Win It for companies is that it needs no special space. Stations are set up in your own meeting room, a hotel function room or outdoors, with no electricity or installations. Even so, it is worth planning the layout a little so the activity flows.
- Number of stations: this depends on the number of participants and the space. More stations mean more people playing at once and less waiting.
- Spectator area: leaving room around each challenge lets the rest of the team cheer, which is a big part of the fun.
- Clear tables: many challenges take place on a table with cups, balls or biscuits, so simple furniture is enough.
- Visible scoreboard: our staff time and score each station, and a scoreboard in plain sight keeps the rivalry between teams alive.
We bring all the materials for every challenge and set up the circuit in the room, so team building in hotels or at your offices gets going straight away. It is a corporate activity with no physical demands, suitable for every profile and easy to fit into any agenda.

How to combine one-minute challenges with other company activities
One-minute challenges move at such a fast pace that they work brilliantly as part of a wider programme. They do not need the whole day: placed well, they change the group's energy exactly when it is needed. Here are some combinations that work.
- As a warm-up: before a longer activity, a few quick challenges break the ice and leave the group laughing and keen to take part.
- Between sessions: at a convention or training day, a round of challenges wakes the room up after several talks.
- Before dinner: at a team bonding event, the circuit fills the drinks reception and the scores are announced over dessert.
- Within a bigger competition: points from each challenge can be added to the leaderboard of other activities that day.
As it requires no fitness or previous experience, this quick team building suits every profile and any group size. It is one of the easiest convention activities to add to an agenda that is already planned, in Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia or any city in Spain.
